I know this is OT, but its driving me nuts. gotta get back ingame asap
before i get withdrawal symptoms.

I have a celeron 300 overclocked at 466 running on an abit bh6 or bx6 mother
board for about 2 years now runnin on win98. Run a voodoo 3000 vid card and
an sb live, oh and a 1* 128meg sim of 100mhz ram.

Here's my problem, I pretty much only play EQ, check email and surf. Lately
i've had a few solid lockups playing eq, some crashes to desktop as well.
Yesterday i got 2 in 10-15 minutes and the day before i died while kiting
due to this (grrr)

Anyways, I tried deinstalling EQ, reinstalling EQ, RoK and SoV. While
reinstalling SoV, total lockup again. This indicated to me that probably my
pc is overheating or something. Another thing i've noticed while playing is
that my graphics seem to be choppier than normal (more vid lag, and its not
swarmcaller) (which indicates to me processing problems).

So... Tonight I'm going to probably rip the pc open, check if my fan is
still working, if it is i'll proceed to downclock the cpu back to 300 like
its supposed to be. If my pc is still acting up from there i'll reinstall
win98 (arg i hate doing this, takes forever with all my apps).

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the prob may be, I have a
feeling my cpu might be nearing retirement but i'm really hoping this isnt
the case because i dont have the cash to buy a new chip/board cause that
would run me about 350$ canadian for a 700mhz/board
